A drink at the bar, a fast-food meal and back-to-school shopping are among those things about to get a bit more expensive in Cook County.
Early Saturday, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger struck a deal with board members, who approved a 1 percent increase in the sales tax - driving Chicago's overall sales tax to double digits at 10.25 percent, easily among the highest of any big city.
This on top of the 88 new taxes and fees that went into effect as of January 1st.
